“The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs. By A. Wolf”

Author Jon Scieszka

This tells the story of the Three Little Pigs from the wolf’s angle.  You can discuss this with your child. Ask questions throughout to encourage them to consider both sides of the story.

Examples:

Was the wolf wrong for eating the little pigs in this story?

Why did the pigs hide?

Would you get angry if someone said something not nice about your granny?

What would you do? Would this reaction be right?

“Goldilocks and the Three Bears”

Author Lauren Child

This is the traditional version of Goldilocks and the Three Bears written in Goldilocks view. Ask your child:

“Is this what you would do?”

“How would you feel if someone was to use your things without asking?”
“Do you think Goldilocks would mind if it were here house?”
